Chris Buescher Struggling At Phoenix This Weekend
1 month agoOne driver who has been surprisingly slow this weekend at Phoenix Raceway has been Chris Buescher. The RFK Racing driver currently has back-to-back top-five finishes in the desert, but it looks as though that streak may come to an end, as the Buescher was just 24th-fastest in practice on Friday and wound up qualifying 24th for Sunday's finale race as well. With that being said, Buescher did look pretty solid on the long runs in practice on Friday, posting the sixth-best 20-lap average, so there is still hope for him to compete for a top-10 finish this weekend. As far as usability in DFS contests goes, Buescher is relatively expensive at $8,200 despite his Place Differential upside. Without getting back to his old ways and being a legitimate contender on Sunday, Buescher will likely struggle to his value in daily fantasy contests this weekend. It is worth noting, though, that Buescher has the fifth-best average finish (10.6) at Phoenix in the Next Gen era.
